A message from our CEO “Since the start of the outbreak we’ve committed to helping our local community in any way that we can, whether that is with free soap to residents or providing essentials to homeless people so they can keep themselves clean while in temporary accommodation, but we wanted to go even further and extend that support across the country. We know a lot of our customers are struggling with not being able to visit their parents or elderly relatives at the moment and are looking for ways to lift their spirits. People were already sending our products as gifts so that those self-isolating could indulge in some self-care and luxury, as well as making their home environment feel a bit more inviting. So, we decided to add a charitable donation onto every purchase as a further contribution towards the crisis. There’s also a feeling across the country that people want to help those who don’t have anybody to care for them – which is illustrated by the overwhelming response to the government’s volunteer scheme. Age Scotland was the perfect beneficiary as it supports elderly people who are most at risk of becoming seriously ill and who may be suffering from loneliness and financial hardship during self-isolation." - Kevin Meechan, ARRAN Sense of Scotland CEO A message from Age Scotland “Thank you so much to ARRAN Sense of Scotland for their thoughtful support during this exceptionally challenging time. This is a period of great anxiety for everyone, but especially for older people and their loved ones. Age Scotland has seen a huge spike in calls to our helpline. Many of our callers are isolated and lonely with no-one else to turn to. We are committed to ensuring that we can offer reassurance and support, and be a voice at the end of the phone should older people feel scared or nervous and need to hear a friendly voice. Thank you for helping us respond to the growing needs and demands we’re seeing.’’ - Michelle Supple, Director of Charity Services at Age Scotland Click here to create your own care package.
